ICOS-L Antibody / ICOS Ligand / B7RP-1

Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT

This mAb recognizes a protein of 36kDa, identified as ICOS-L, also called B7RP-1 or B7-related protein 1. It is a ligand for the ICOS receptor that initiates T and B cell proliferation and cytokine secretion. ICOS-L interactions play an essential role in T cell-dependent B cell activation in peripheral lymphoid organs such as spleen and lymph nodes. ICOS-L protein is present in myeloid leukocytes, and by Northern blot there are 2.4, 3.0, and 7.0 kb transcripts in brain, heart, kidney, and liver, with lower expression in colon and thymus, and a 1.1 kb transcript in leukocytes. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF Alpha), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) enhance its expression. LPS-induced up-regulation of ICOS-L is dependent on the MyD88-dependent signaling pathway.

Purified

1 mg/ml in 1X PBS; BSA free, sodium azide free

A recombinant fragment of human ICOSLG/B7RP-1 protein (within amino acids 1-300) was used as the immunogen for the B7RP-1 antibody.

This B7RP-1 antibody is available for research use only.
